Help Center - My book has been mailed. Am I done?

That depends. Have you marked the book mailed?

You are not "done" until you have marked the book mailed by clicking the Book Has Been Mailed button on the active transaction on your account page. There is a deadline to do this!

• You have 5 days from the date of acceptance if you clicked "I can mail in the next 2 days"
• you have 2 days from the alternate mail-by date you selected if you clicked "I can mail later"
• The deadline to send a book appears in red on each transaction in the "books needing to be mailed" tab in My Account

If you are using PBS Delivery Confirmation, no barcode scan will "count" to earn Quick Credit until the book is marked mailed.

If you are using PBS Printed postage, you will not get Instant Credit until you mark the book mailed.

If a book is not marked mailed before the deadline to do so, the transaction will be canceled by the system and the sender will not get credit for sending the book.

If you have mailed the book, and marked the book mailed, you are done with your part of the swap!

Additional Notes:

• If you mail on your way out of town, mark the book(s) mailed before you leave (the morning or the night before mailing)!

• If your computer tends to crash, or your power or Internet access is undependable, mark the book mailed before you mail it--and then mail it!
